Why do I suddenly get stupid when the elders talk to me
by JWinprotest indoes anyone else have the same problem.
when i'm alone, i am constantly thinking about all the clever things i'm going to say if visited by the elders, but when i actually get confronted, these things never come to mind, and i keep spitting out drivel like some dumb idiot.
after they leave, i rethink the conversation, and i'm furious over all the oppotunities i've missed to put them in their place.......damn it!!!!!

The Gong Show
by JWinprotest ini was watching youtube clips last night of old game shows, the gong show was one of them.
made me think how wonderful it would be if the meetings had a similar theme........don't like the speaker?
get up and smash the gong.

My family is trying to gather Intel on me......through my 5 yr old!!
by JWinprotest ini don't have conclusive evidence yet, but i'm pretty sure that my mom and siblings are asking my 5 yr old questions to find things out, such as, whether we attend meetings or not, if we celebrate holidays, do we go in service etc.. maybe i'm just being paranoid.....but i don't think so..

What to do
by JWinprotest inwe haven't been to a meeting or turned in a field service report for 2 months, so we don't know where our cong's memorial will be held this year.
we have 3 options.
either 1)we attend a meeting before the memorial and get the info, 2) we call one of the elders and get the info or 3) we wait to see if they contact us and if they don't we just miss for the first time ever.

I know it's not good to stereotype, but come on!!
by JWinprotest inyesterday's bookstudy was about the value of hard work, and on page 175 they have 3 pictures of good jw examples who are working hard.. one picture is of a woman working in an office environment, and i think it's an office at bethel.
the second is of a woman in africa carrying a bundle of sticks on her head.
and the third is of a brother, get this........washing windows!!!!

Praying for holy spirit
by JWinprotest insince i'm in a complaining mood, i'll just throw one more in there.. one of the brothers praying at my circuit assembly said, "jehovah may your holy spirit continue to operate on the faithful and discreet slave.".
i thought, what a stupid thing to pray for.
if these guys are already ordained by god, why would we have to pray to god to ask him to continue supplying them with holy spirit, by their standard these guys should never lose it.. alright, that's it for today.. .

Where does the money go?
by JWinprotest inthe other day my wife asked me this question when i was trying to tell her that the society's motive behind most decisions is money.
she too thinks the society is misguiding people but she doesn't think it's being done for financial gain like i do.. can anyone out there confirm whether members of the gb or some of the higher profile bethelites are personally benefitting from all the money that is being gathered in by the organization.
and i don't mean stuff like, they have all their needs taken care of, i mean luxuries that most jw's would not receive..
